About Me

I'm an easygoing guy with a love for math, physics, music and animals. I'd love to find work in the data sector and even more so if the aim is sustainability.

    title
    Workshop Facilitator
    overview
    Served as a lead workshop facilitator for the Scholar Enrichment Program at the University of Houston. In particular, I lead the University Physics 1 workshop - a calculus based approach to physics for incoming STEM majors. The workshops are a semester-long commitment, meeting 3 hours every week, with the goal of expanding and enriching the material normally covered in the associated lectures. I also committed several hours throughout the week to meeting with students outside of workshop hours to further assist their understanding of physics and related mathematical concepts.

Fun Fact

I spent much of my college career caring for my terminally ill mother - she's one of my biggest motivating factors.
